"Faster, Higher, Stronger." The Olympic motto captures the pure athleticism we will witness after the great caldron is lit in London July 27. Individuals and teams from around the world will push themselves past the limit of human endurance to win a gold medal and, if possible, set a world record.
Olympians – and we lesser specimens watching from our sofas – start with roughly the same factory-supplied bodies, breathe the same air, navigate the same terrestrial conditions. Their physical feats, however, put them on the far end of the human bell curve.
Still, while dramatic contests will take place and heartbreakingly close races will occur during the Games, scientists increasingly believe humans are hitting
limits of unassisted athletic performance. There's only so much, it seems, that Homo sapiens' muscles and lungs can accomplish.
Specialists at France's National Institute of Sport, Expertise, and Performance have examined the top 10 performances in track and field and swimming during the modern Olympics era (1891 to 2008) and found that most records have stagnated since 1988. "Our physiological evolution will remain limited in a majority of Olympic events," they concluded in their 2010 report.
Records may still be broken. In rare cases, extremely exceptional individuals may still emerge. High-tech footwear and no-drag swimsuits may provide a temporary edge – until everyone gets them or they are banned. The latest performance-enhancing drugs and futuristic procedures such as gene therapy may assist a few unscrupulous athletes. But as Peter Weyand, a biomechanics and physiology professor at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, wrote in a 2009 Monitor commentary, record-setting may "no longer lie within the traditional limits of human biology."
If humanity's unassisted quest for statistical glory is all but over, that may not be a bad thing. At the world-record level, microscopic differences in finishing times are increasingly trivial. Anything from a bad night's sleep to a change in the weather can shave microseconds off a performance. The American swimming phenomenon Michael Phelps had an amazing comeback in the 4x100-meter freestyle relay in the 2008 Games. But his comeback was the story. His 1/100th-of-a-second victory over Serbian swimmer Milorad Cavic was so close that the race was essentially a tie.
The gracious Mr. Cavic epitomized the Olympic spirit when he said he was fine with the result because "there's nothing wrong with losing to the greatest swimmer there has ever been." So maybe the old ideal of "how you play the game" is beginning to supplant the relentless drive to win.
In a Monitor cover story (click here to read it), we introduce you to eight remarkable Olympians from around the world – among them, a 71-year-old Japanese dressage competitor, a Somali runner who braved the mean streets of Mogadishu to train, a Massachusetts judo athlete who overcame abuse by a coach, a gentle-giant Iranian weightlifter, a female wrestler fighting taboos in India.
It is a cliché to say that these and others who make it to London win just by showing up. They have trained and are hungry. They want a medal. But their individual achievements are only part of what they are. Their back stories, not their superhuman skills, help the rest of us understand what the Olympics are about.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – People standing in front of the Duval County Courthouse holding signs has been a fixture for most if the Michael Dunn trial. Friday was no different.
Demonstrators were back as the jury continued to deliberate.
Many of the demonstrators were expecting a verdict Thursday but now are hoping it comes Friday.
Their message is justice for Jordan Davis. For them, that means a guilty verdict. They're not discouraged by how long the jury has been deliberating.
Many of the demonstrators have been making their voices heard since the trial began, lining the sidewalk leading to the courthouse. They say they want to keep attention on this story locally and nationally and represent people who may not be able to come out.
It's important, demonstrators say, for people to feel hopeful and know that someone out there cares about justice.
There were people from several groups there Friday. One woman brought her daughters out with her to be part of the demonstrations.
"Loud music. Do they deserve to die because of loud music? Skittles and hoodies? No," Jacqueline Black said. "That's what they are taking away from this. They can stand up. They need to be heard."
Another group was there just wanting to support Davis' family.
"They lost a son," Mary Dennis said. "And we all look a it, everybody that has children right now, they really put themselves in their places like, 'OK, this could have been my child."
And the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Jacksonville was back out there. Throughout the trial, they have been nonviolent and non-confrontational.
"We stand in the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.," said Opio Sokoni, of the SCLC. "He was about love. He was about bringing people together. But what we found in this trial is that blacks and whites do believe that this man is guilty, and so it doesn't take a lot of inflammatory language when you're on the side of right."
The demonstrators say they plan to keep that same theme of nonviolence, even if the jury delivers a verdict they don't agree with.
They'll be out there until the verdict comes down.

Tia Mowry has a brand new 'do.
The Sister, Sister star recently debuted a drastically short pixie cut and admits the change was an emotional one. "I cried! I'm just going to be honest with you, I definitely cried," Mowry, 34, told Us Weekly. "I really wasn't expecting the shock value. A lot of people ask me, 'What advice would you give to women who want to chop it off?' I said, 'Don't think about it because if you do you won't do it.' But it's very liberating and it definitely saves time."
She is the latest celebrity — including Miley Cyrus, Anne Hathaway and Lena Dunham — to go the gamine route and chop it all off. Mowry's new haircut allows her more time to spend with her growing son, Cree Taylor, whom she gave birth to in June 2011. "I am so happy that I decided to cut my hair. It literally takes me three minutes to do my hair," she said. "I get out of the shower, put some conditioner in it, and it's just 'Let's go,' and I love that!"
Mowry left her BET series The Game earlier this year, and Tia & Tamera, her Style Network reality show with her sister Tamera Mowry-Housley, returns with new episodes on Tuesday at 9/8c. She also stars in the upcoming ABC Family holiday movie Mistle-Tones.
What do you think of Mowry's new 'do?

On the Tiger Heron blog today, Tony Freixas has posted a new article talking about the use of two patterns (no, not design patterns) in PHP development - the Bait-and-Switch method and the Shell Game.
Originally, I planned to write about how to configure the Apache server to run both PHP4 and PHP5. With the push toward PHP5 (see Go PHP5), there are now hundreds of articles covering that topic. Instead, I will talk about two IT patterns I use for PHP development on Windows. The patterns are ancient and familiar to most Unix developers, but little used in the Windows world.
He uses something he calls "junction points" to make both of the patterns work and describes a bit about what they are and how to create them. Then, it's on to the descriptions - he covers what each of the patterns is about and includes a method for implementing it. The Bait-and-Switch is mostly about swapping out multiple software versions transparently and the Shell Game uses a shell script to handle the creation of the environment and the execution instead.

We have two houseboats in mind, one with a single engine 350 with outdrive, other is twin engine 305 with v drive. Any opinions or info on pros and cons of either would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
We have two houseboats in mind, one with a single engine 350 with outdrive, other is twin engine 305 with v drive. Any opinions or info on pros and cons of either would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
I've never had a single engine HB. But, I will tell you that I can spin my 50' houseboat with twin V-Drives almost like spinning a skid steer on dry land. I also had a 30' SeaRay with twin I/O's. After owning two boats with twins, a single engine HB would not be a consideration for me. So there's my 2 pennies worth.
1986 Gibson 50'
Twin 454 Crusaders
Monroe Reservoir, Bloomington, IN
If I had any boat over 30 feet it would have to have two screws..
My preference would be Diesel Inboard with V-Drive..
V-drives always win over outdrives... anyday!
This has been discussed many times. If it's not a money thing twins win hands down. A single outdrive houseboat is a wandering bear to at low speeds. Sorta like pushing a chain. However when you learn to handle them you are an above average boater.
Twin vee drives are minimal maintenance because the machinery is inside the boat. Handling is as good as it gets and performance is much better.
In 60+ years of boating I never met a man with twins that went back to a single.
The fries are cold so we gave you extra.
i have a 44 gibson now with twins and love it. my brother has a 50ft cloud nine with a single volvo outdrive. he calls it the wonderer, need i say more?
I had a 32 foot single I/o last season. It was tough to get a handle on when driving. If you didn't really try you would snake across the river. I have since purchased a 40 foot twin engine with v-drives. It makes such a difference in steering. Also dock maneuvering is much easier as well. I am still getting the hang of that though.
My first two boats were singles. First 42 ft pontoon and 2nd was a 46 ft aluminum hull. My current boat has twin 5.0 liters and I wouldn't go back to a single. I could control it fine but not as well as twins. In addition, the twin motors gives me peace of mind that if something happens, I still have power to get back to my slip. I had the motor quit on me with my 46fter and had to get towed back. The motor also died on me trying to dock once. Tagged it pretty good. No damage but at least if one motor were to die on me now, I still have power.
Got a 60' aluminum single inboard. Man that thing is a pig to drive. If you got a tight berth you would have to have a thruster. That being said I am good with it. I use it to push me out 10 miles at most and though it does like to track a little like a snake I have adapted and don't notice. Would I take it on a long trip .. Nope!
Twins with V-drives are far superior to anything else. I remember a 50 Gibson that was ordered with IOS and it handled like a bear. They were to close together. Twins with v drives handle like a dream

There are no Upcoming Shows listed for this comedian.
Michael O'Connell
The Chicago native, 30, still prefers the comfort of bulge-hugging, polyester jumpsuits. But in the decade since he first battered audiences on the standup circuit with his frenzied music-based performances delivered in an indiscernible European accent, he has started wearing regular pants -- sometimes.
On O'Connell's ever-evolving album, "Unemployable" - world failures provide consistent fodder for his comedy. Fireable offenses have included adding gin to nonfat lattes, crying too much, math errors, inhaling whipped cream propellant, chortling at authority figures and masturbating into warm tortillas.

Seven killed in US storms
A massive Christmas storm that whipped up tornadoes, ice and snow from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes has killed at least seven people and grounded more than 2000 US flights.
The storm snarled holiday travel as people were warned to stay home rather than brave the strong winds, freezing temperatures and treacherous roads.
The National Weather Service warned of "dangerous travel conditions due to snow and ice covered roads" and said the weight of ice and snow could knock down power lines and trees.
Already, more than 200,000 people were without power, with tens of thousands of holiday travellers stranded across the country.
The weather service forecast up to 46cm of snow from New York state up to Maine and warned of freezing rain, tornadoes and severe thunderstorms all the way down to the Carolinas.
Areas in the Rocky Mountains were also set to get about a foot of snow from a second storm system on Wednesday.
Albion, Illinois had already recorded 47cm of snow by Wednesday afternoon while parts of Pennsylvania had recorded as much as half an inch of freezing rain as the storm continued to pound the region.
The Indiana state police said it had responded to 159 crashes near Indianapolis - many of them with multiple vehicles - in just the first few hours of the storm.
More than 1500 US flights had been cancelled by Wednesday evening, after 536 were grounded on Tuesday, according to flight tracker FlightAware.
Another 276 were already called off for Thursday.
"The biggest factor on both coasts is high winds and winds not aligned with runways," FlightAware chief Daniel Baker said.
"This causes significant capacity constraints that lead to long delays and cancellations."
The National Basketball Association meanwhile postponed a Wednesday night game in Indianapolis between the Indiana Pacers and the Chicago Bulls, saying it would be rescheduled.
Scores of homes and businesses were damaged on Tuesday after 34 tornadoes were reported in the southern US states of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
The governors of both Mississippi and Alabama have declared states of emergency.
More than 200,000 people remained in the cold and dark o Wednesday after the storm knocked down power lines in Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas.
The regional utility company said it was bringing in outside crews to help, but it could be a week before service was fully restored.
"Road conditions are making travel very dangerous and slow," Entergy said.
"In addition, the threat of falling trees and tree limbs poses a substantial risk to our crews who are working to restore power as quickly as safely possible."
Two children were killed after their mother lost control of her vehicle on an icy road in Arkansas on Christmas Day, the State police said.
Another person was killed in the State early on Wednesday as a result of the storm, the Arkansas emergency management service said.
A dozen people were hurt in a 21-vehicle pile-up caused by icy roads in Oklahoma City that started when a truck jack-knifed on a major interstate and oncoming cars were not able to stop on the icy roadway, the Oklahoman reported.
Two women were killed in separate crashes in the state on Christmas Day, the state highway patrol said.
A man was killed in rural Louisiana when a tree hit his home on Christmas Day, and a Texas man died in similar circumstances in a Houston suburb, local media reported.

"Our own fairytale story is working out pretty well"
27th October 2017 by Rebecca Smyth, posted in Our Story, The Proposal
We share the heartwarming story of David and Jasmine. We chat about how the couple met, long-distance love, Jasmine's unique engagement ring design and their fairytale barnyard wedding plans for the future.
How did you and Jasmine meet?
We met at a pub in Devon, where we both used to live. It just so happens that we met on the night of my farewell drinks as I was moving back up to Scotland. I was chatting to the landlord and Jasmine randomly joined our conversation.
As the night went on, we ended up sitting together, chatting away and we hit it off big time.
Because I was moving away, we organised to meet up halfway in Liverpool. I ended up going back to Devon with her and meeting her family. I knew I wanted to see her again because my heart sank as I was leaving the station to head back up to Glasgow.
So for the first year we were together, we were always on the phone and we were travelling back and forth to see each other.
The following year was really hard for both of us. Jasmine then moved up to Scotland and she was my rock. I think we've helped each other through so many things.
Luckily enough, we've been together for just over three years now. We bought our first house in January. Everything has happened pretty quickly, but it's been great. We've done so many things in that time.
What is it about Jasmine that makes you smile?
Her quirkiness and craziness makes me smile. It's just so surreal. She's pure comedy.
She makes me laugh – I could have the worst day of my life and she could do something so innocent and we will both end up in fits of laughter.
I'm so relaxed with her, I can be myself.
How did you go about choosing an engagement ring?
I'm the last lad from my friendship group to get married, so there's definitely some pressure on me.
Whenever Jasmine and I would pass a jewellery shop, she would always take a look at the wee sparkly things, dropping hints about what she liked. But every time we'd go in, her design ideas would change which made me nervous.
So I looked up bespoke engagement rings online and it was actually on the live chat that I got speaking to Maria. I explained that I was stumped for ideas, but asked that if I shared a couple of photos with her, would she be able to give me some ideas?
Before I know it, we're chatting away via email – she got back to me with three initial designs. The only thing I can compare it to is me cooking a three course meal in two minutes. That's the only way I can explain it. Her design sketches were phenomenal!
Jasmine had mentioned that she liked ring designs that featured an entwined, leaf inspired band. Based on the first designs, I asked if we could incorporate an autumnal leaf-feel and she came back with another design and I thought 'this is it'.
The ring was something that we've actually both decided on. I chose the shape and the design, but the colour of the sapphire and and the leaf idea was Jasmine.
The whole process made me feel so safe and secure. I had regular contact from Maria and she worked with me to make the design perfect.
Maria created a whirlwind of fantastic-ness. The journey's been brilliant.
How did you propose?
It was completely different to how I'd normally expect a proposal to go.
She was meant to be travelling to Bristol and I was getting paranoid about hiding the ring somewhere. I came home one night, with a banging headache. I had the ring delivered to work, so now I had it at home, hidden in my grandfather's cufflink box just incase she went snooping around. I put the box into one of the inside pockets of my jacket in the wardrobe.
I was debating whether I should go ahead and do it or wait.
And I just got a massive wave of excitement and asked Jasmine to get me a paracetamol from the bedroom for my headache.
She was looking around the bedroom and a lightbulb just clicked in my mind and I called into her "they're inside my jacket pocket in the wardrobe."
So I followed her into the bedroom and she actually picked out the ring box from the jacket and placed it on the side and kept looking for the paracetamol. I couldn't believe it – she didn't have a clue that the ring was just sitting there.
So I picked it up, knelt down behind her and said "have you found it yet?"
She turned around and there I was with the ring. It was so funny. She looked so bemused – in fact, the first word that came out of her mouth as the F word!
And she said "What? Now? I'm in my gym clothes!" It took her a few seconds to actually register what was happening, but she was delighted and said "wow" when she put the ring on.
People asked why I didn't propose while we were on holiday, or out at dinner. Knowing Jasmine, she's not really a grand gesture person. She's a very private, low-key person and in hindsight, it couldn't have worked out better because we have a great, funny story to tell.
What are the dreams you share together for the future?
Jasmine is training to be a nurse and she'll qualify in 2019. At the moment, she's in wedding mode. We've been visiting barn wedding venues, where she wants to have leaves, flowers, candles. Jas has got her ideas of a completely different ceremony altogether – having food first and getting married at night time just as the sun sets – like a fairytale.
Our own fairytale story is working out pretty well.
How about your honeymoon plans?
I'm comfortable driving abroad so we've decided to do a driving trip through Italy, staying at some hostels along the way.
We're starting off in Rome followed by Lake Garda, Venice and finishing in Sorrento over 14 days.
A huge congratulations to David & Jasmine – we wish them all the best for the future and look forward to them returning to us for their wedding rings!

Live Christmas Trees Becoming Less Popular Purchase
COLUMBIA - Finding the perfect trees is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Not only are they fleeting, but opinions differ on what perfection looks like. A plump tree for one person is too bushy for another. An eight-foot tree might be great in parents' eyes, but much too high for little kids.
Eric and Becky Matney managed to find their ideal tree after a lengthy search. They've gone to the same farm for the past four years with their two children.
"It brings back memories," Becky Matney said. "So it's really important for us to continue the tradition."
This kind of tradition is becoming less popular though. According to the National Christmas Tree Association, 40 percent of Americans had a live Christmas trees in their home in 1991. Two decades later, that figure fell to 23 percent.
"I don't think people like the hassle of going out and picking their own tree. It's easier to have own boxed up in the attic and take it down," she said.
More and more people are giving up live trees in favor of artificial ones. Since 2005, roughly 11 million artificial trees have been purchased each year according to NCTA with a spike of 17.4 million in 2007 when the recession was in full swing. Even though real trees sell nearly three times better, they aren't reusable like its fake fir friend.
Jill Hartleip, who works at the Hillcreek Yarn Shoppe, says the store uses a fake tree to avoid "...Pine needles dropping, keeping it watered and if it does get dried out, they get pokey," as well as potential allergic reactions.
Regardless of preference, Americans will inject roughly $1.7 billion dollars into the economy with $1 billion coming from real trees and $700 million from fake trees, according to NCTA.
It's not all bad news for Christmas tree farm owners though. Darryl Raitt, who owns Timber View Christmas Tree Farm in Hartsburg, has seen business grow in the last few years.
"Ninety percent of our customers have been here before. It's a tradition. We' really aren't selling trees. We're selling the tradition," he said.
"(Families) come out the year before and we take their picture and put it on the little board in there. The kids, the first thing they do when they come back, they run in to see where their picture is... The little gimmicks like that that people seem to enjoy."
